Meta reviews

- Working on product teams is trying because of the micromanagement of Zuck and other upper management. Many projects get delayed because they ask for random changes. - Working on backend teams doesn't have that problem, but they are typically second-class citizens and don't get as much respect as frontend teams. - Facebook is very large now and the bureacracy is starting to accumulate quickly. It used to be that engineers could just do stuff, but now almost every change requires a great deal of pointless discussion or overhead. For instance, you now have to fill out a form just to log some data. - Very strong focus on some of the "hot" product teams means that the rest of the company doesn't get preference with respect to product managers, designers, etc. - Most frontend work is boring mundane PHP. The only challenge comes from poorly-designed legacy systems. - Managers will often ask you to work on something you don't care about just because it's a priority for the company. This goes against the claimed philosophy of Facebook, but it's the way things are trending.

Was hired to prevent misuse of private data. It is apparent that there is no management support for this role in any form. The role was created in an attempt to fool regulators and stockholders into thinking that things are changing at facebook. The mission of facebook is to misuse private data and the role is an attempt to distract the public from that fact. I am an h1b, much like most facebook employees, and i am threatened with being booted from the program whenever i attempt to protect customer data from being exposed. If anyone from management is reading this i sincerely believe facebook is the proverbial boulder rolling down a hill with too much momentum to stop the downward slide. Metaverse is another distraction from that fact and the reviews continue to be clear: despite having great technology and facebook subsidizing every vr unit sold, adoption is declining because no one wants to sign away there privacy, for any cost.
